Welcome to the Painting Challenge. Here you will find the fabulous, fevered work from miniature painters from around the world. While participants come from every colour, gender, age and nationality, they have at least three things in common: they love miniatures, enjoy a supportive community and they have all taken the Challenge.
This site features the current year's event along with the archives of past Challenges.
Enjoy your visit and remember to come back soon.

From RayR - Donnybrook, On the farm (46 Points)

For my second post today and second overall, apart from the bonus rounds of course.

We have a few odds and sods of civvies from the leadpile.

firstly One man and his dog, with 3 sheep.

The figures are from Redoubt and were a quick paint job. I've been experimenting

with different inks and washes. These were washed with an old recipe of Windsor & Newton Peat Brown. I think it needed watering down a little more. Wish I'd stuck with the Army Painter dip to be honest.

The next 3 figures are from Redout Enterprise, I believe from their AWI range.

Again I used the W & N ink, I think it worked a little better on these??

They will of course go into the Donnybrook box of dispare, hopefully to be used one

day in a game!!

2 Maids a milkin and Daisy

from Redoubt

There are 6 x 25mm figures

1 x Dog

3 x Sheep

3 bails of straw
1 x Cow

I think i'll leave the workings out to Lee.....

Donnybrook, donnybrook, donnybrook... when will it end Ray? Or more to the point, when are we going to get a game!? If you keep painting farmyard animals instead of soldiers I guess the answer is never. Mind you at least you've removed something from the lead mountain (the residents of Gravesend can breath a little easier). Thirty points for the humans, 5 for the cow and I'll score the animals as 15mm so 8 points for these and a point each for the bales of straw. 46 points in total... and be thankful I don't dock you points just coz its you ;)
